30. The Devil Judge
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
Great soundtrack, acting and story. A dystopian S.K. with plenty of corruption among the ones in power. It was released in 2021, and it reminds me of U.S.' politics from before 2016-2020 and 2024 -onwards. The screenwriters and actors did a great job at the portrayal of such characters. This has become one of my favorite Kdramas of all time. Warning: No romance.

37. Mad Dog
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
It reminded me of Taxi Driver, Bloodhounds, My Name, Bad and Crazy, Café Minamdang, and similar. With a happy ending, thrill and charming MLeads, and really bad antagonists. I enjoyed it so much that I didn't want it to end, and I already miss the characters. I wish there was a second season since we only got a bit of a hint of developing relationships at the very end, with each character's charm. This is an underrated kdrama that should have received more attention and appreciation from viewers.

38. Concrete Utopia

"Post-Apocalyptic" movie - life after a huge earthquake. Heartbreaking, and interesting as well. There is a stand-alone sequel is called Badland Hunters. Acting is great and I can recommend it.

39. City Hunter

Japanese Action, underground organization, drugs that give superpower.

40. Vigilante
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
Hulu-Disney channel. As the name conveys. Action, bring-back justice, and no comedy, no romance. Good series, perfect for 1 or 2 days for all 8 50-minute episodes. There will be a 2nd season - confirmed on July 2024.
